I love the simplicity of this shot and the downplay of it's presentation. At first glance it may be just a dead on snapshot of a fly. Then I see the diagonal lines come forward and dive across the frame pulling my eyes across the image. The horizontal placement of the fly itself is offset by the grain and splits in the wood. The symmetry and the proportions of the insect are divine. The large bulbous eyes countered by the weight on the overlapped wings to make the balance of nature's design more believable. The subtle coloring and soft light brings added value often overlooked. Your selection for depth of field is spot on as the foreground falls off into my lap. Very well composed. I appreciate the thought you put into such an opportune subject. Bravo!

This is me...

Welcome to PhotoCommunique

This is my near daily photography web log. I got interested in photography in high school and have been taking shots ever since. I am still developing techniques and honing my eye. I tend to gravitate toward macro shots, small subjects and low perspective. Have fun digging through the blog and looking at old posts. You will see that I have worked through different processing, framing and display techniques along the way. It's all in an effort to learn something new. All of these photos were taken with minimal equipment and consumer level cameras. You can do any of this with your camera too. Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment or ask a question. Let's learn this stuff together.
